Doing this job right now on an '88, lots of good info! I found that if a guy doesn't want to disturb the driver side runners, it's just as easy to split the fuel rails in place. Two T25's and a little wiggling and they'll separate. This also helped me avoid kinking the fuel line on the backside which requires sliding the rail forward to disengage it, but would otherwise be stopped by the smog equipment on the passenger side front if left as a complete assembly.

Great video. Repaired all my o rings on my fuel rail and my injectors/fuel pressure regulator.I get 47psi on my fuel pressure test but it slowly bleeds off and stays steady near 28psi. Found a slight leak on a fuel line. Hopefully that fixes the problem.

Awesome video. I have replaced the heads on a ' 90 Coupe I use to own but didn't change the fuel injectors. I didn't record the process. I did the repair from memory and did label the vacuum lines and etc . When I removed the lower intake manifold , I replaced those ugly , half stripped star bolts , with stainless steel hex bolts and washers . I now have a ' 90 Convertible and want to rebuild the fuel rail and replace the fuel injectors and fuel pressure regulator. Thank you greatly for the tips and detailed video . Your video sums everything up . I'm looking forward to doing this repair . I was planning on using the Bosch 22lbs stage 2 injectors because my engine is stock. What is the difference between Bosch stage 2 and Bosch stage 3 injectors. Thanks again.

It's been a while since I did that job but I seem to recall I went the Bosch 3 solely on them having the same installed height as the original so I didn't need to do anything special with the fuel rail. This should be the ones I used fuelinjectorconnection.com/collections/gm-car-rebuilt-injectors/products/corvette-camaro-1986-1992-22-lb-bosch-3-injector-kit-with-gaskets-and-rail-o-rings

hi! i recently bought a 98 c4, the owner before me swapped It to carbs. I wanna swap it back to injection, he has all the parts necessary i just wanted to know how hard that would be for a beginner ish owner. thanks for the help, love the videos!
@MidnightRoadGarage9 ай бұрын
Thats really hard to say without knowing what he did and I'm assuming you mean 88 since 98 would make it a c5 and a completely different engine. Some people cut the wiring harness up when they do that which makes it very difficult to go back. I'm also wondering what he did for a fuel pump. Stock fuel pump is way too much psi for a carb. If all the wiring is there just put all the TPI stuff back on and put the right fuel pump in the tank. If everything is completely hacked up then remove the carb and replace it with a Holley Sniper or a similar TBI unit. I wouldnt call either option easy but based on the unknowns an aftermarket TBI is probably easier. Cost wise might be around the same. I'm sure there was a reason the TPI was removed so the used parts likely need to be gone through and injectors replaced etc. Lots of variables lol :)

Great video,...close ups at all the right places. I've got a question that is very important, as I'm about to do EXACTLY what your video shows. You mentioned that you went to Bosch III injectors, which are a nice upgrade (probably 4 hole and flow matched), but isn't the overall injector height .125" shorter? Did this cause you ANY issues (doesn't look like it did) with mounting holes realigning? Correct me if I'm wrong but so far, my research show that the O ring to O ring stayed the same. I'm looking forward to your answer. I"m doing this on an 87 5.7L TPI.
